I will be at the game and do my best to tweet (@vegter21), but let’s be honest, I’m not very good at that sort of thing. John Meyer and @canishoopus are going to provide much better content. Follow our friends at The Denver Stiffs as well (@denverstiffs).

Game thread time. Keep that Valentines feeling going with love for the Wolves and each other. Wolves talk....now!!
